She 3lam?stmtm 3kr-(Ettttemttal Exposition 


On the shores of Hampton Roads, where the mighty James pours its waters into the broad Chesapeake Bay, with the Atlantic 
Ocean off in the distance between the Virginia capes, stands the great “Jamestown Exposition" where the people of our whole 
country are celebrating in fitting manner the three hundredth anniversary of the birth of the nation. Wonderful in its concep¬ 
tion, beautiful in its execution, the “Colonial City” has risen like magic among the Southern pines and flowers; and here Virgin¬ 
ians, with true Virginia hospitality, are giving a hearty, gladsome welcome to all who come. With its buildings of brick, and the 
great white columns that marked the architecture of the Georgian period, the Exposition itself is a thing of beauty and a joy 
forever. But vieing with it in attractiveness is the wide expanse of the waters of Hampton Roads, where the battle-ships of the 
world have gathered in fraternal meeting. They do not look like dogs of war in their gay attire; covered with flags of many colors, 
and at night with myriads of lights, they tell the tale of peace and good will among all peoples. Beautiful women, and men of 
many nations, promenade the decks, while the small boats ply between the ships as the officers, in bright uniforms, visit one 
another, and everywhere is heard the soft ripple of laughter and the voice of merriment. Truly the scene is wonderful, whether 
we look upon the land or upon the sea. 

And the reason of its being adds to the interest of it all. Three hundred years ago, a hardy band of English adventurers passed 
over the waters of Hampton Roads, and up the broad Powhatan, as the Indians called it, to Jamestown, where they established the 
first permanent English settlement on the American Continent. Many were its early vicissitudes, but it was guided in its infancy 
by the strong hand of the brave and wonderfully resourceful Captain John Smith, while for its guardian angel, there was the beau¬ 
tiful and gracious Indian maiden—Pocahontas of happy memory. Of Jamestown, nothing now remains save the lonely ruins of 
the old church tower; but from that little settlement this great nation sprung, and it seems but right and proper that the world 
should come en masse to its birthday party, and share in the joy s and festivities of the happy holiday. 

From April 26th to November 30th, 1907, Virginia, “The mother of states and of statesmen” is “at home” in the Colonial City. 

There is no other land so fair 
As Old Virginia, 

So full of song, so free from care, 

As Old Virginia, 

And I am sure that happy land 
The Lord prepared for mortal man. 

Is built exactly on the plan 
Of Old Virginia. 




BIRD’S-EYE VIEW OF HAMPTON ROADS AND THE JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION, 






THE AUDITORIUM. 

The Auditorium is the central and main building of the three structures forming the principal figure of the grand picture of the Exposition. 
It faces Raleigh Court, with an enchanting view of Hampton Roads and the naval ships in the distance, with the Grand Basin, the Piers and the 
Sunken Gardens near at hand. Its Southern facade faces the beautiful Lee Parade which is entirely surrounded by apple trees making a 
charming view looking toward the main entrance. Adjoining the Auditorium on either side are the Palaces of Education and next these, on 
the west, is the fire proof Fine Arts Building, and on the east the Marine Exhibits Building 


















THE AUDITORIUM ILLUMINATED BY ELECTRICITY. 

The Auditorium, occupying the central position of the Exposition, and having many hundreds of electric 
bulbs following its lines, makes a very striking picture at night. It is one of the principal units of a symmetrical 
whole, which, glowing with countless electric lights makes a scene of wonderful brilliancy and beauty whether seen 
from the Exposition grounds or from across the waters of Hampton Roads. 















THE FOOD PRODUCTS BUILDING. 

This ornate building devoted to the display of all kinds of food products is situated nearly opposite the War Path, on Commonwealth 
Avenue, and with one front facing Lee Parade. Because of the great agitation of the subject of pure foods at the present time it is a place of 
unusual interest. 


















MARINE EXHIBITS BUILDING. 

This structure, so thoroughly in keeping with the Colonial architectural scheme of the Exposition, and so perfect a type, is situated between 
the Palace of Mines and the East Educational Palace, and extends through from Pocahontas Street to Lee’s Parade. Filled with all sorts of 
launches, yachts, and other classes of boats, and nautical appliances, it is of great interest to all who love the rivers, lakes and sea. 



















PALACE OF LIBERAL ARTS. 

The Palace of Liberal Arts is devoted to that great variety of works covering books, maps, drawings, ancient manuscripts and carvings, 
the manufacture of paper; and the Graphic Arts, including printing, lithography, typewriters, and printing processes of all kinds, with kindled 
lines of human activity. 


































THE STATES’ EXHIBIT PALACE. 

Within the confines of this vast building the visitor may spend hours with profit and pleasure in studying and comparing the products of the 
various great States which compose our common country. The building, 300 by 500 feet, is at the right of Lee Parade as one enters at the Main 
Entrance. 


















STATE BUILDINGS ON WILLOUGHBY BOULEVARD. 

The water front of the Exposition stretches for some miles along Hampton Roads, and this view shows a portion west of Government Pier 
and Raleigh Court Along the board walk throngs are continually passing, visiting the State buildings and gazing out upon the waters. 












PALACES OF MINES AND METALLURGY. 

The range of exhibits in the Palace of Mines and Metallurgy includes specimens of the finest gems and the coarsest but none the less valuable 
output of the coal and iron and other mines, with the machinery used in their extraction and processes of treatment. A never ending source 
of interest is the wealth for which men delve in the depths of the earth.

THE GOVERNMENT BUILDING, WEST. ARMY AND NAVY EXHIBITS. 

This building is replete with interesting exhibits showing our governmental system of conducting the Army and Navy, and the require¬ 
ments of these two lines of service. Connected with this building by a pillared colonnade is the Smithsonian Institute Museum. 



THE GOVERNMENT BUILDING, EAST. TREASURY, POST OFFICE AND INTERIOR DEPARTMENTS. 

Here are interesting exhibits set up showing the workings of the se various branches of service. The government buildings are always 
visited and their contents closely studied by the people who evince u nflagging interest in the work performed by their own public servants. 








































VIEWS IN THE INTERIOR OF GOVERNMENT BUILDING, WEST. 

View No. i of this group shows the Philippine uniform adopted by our government. No. 2 the Alaskan uniform, while No. 4 shows officers 
and other lines of the service. They suggest the wide territorial influe nee to which our nation has attained in recent decades. No. 3 is a 
standard of flags adorning the center of this building.

FISHERIES BUILDING. 


Wonderfully Interesting and instructive lessons are here shown of the beneficient work of the fisheries commission in the propagation and 
distribution of food fishes. The rivers, lakes and ocean bays are restocked in the manner here shown. 






















































ARMY AND NAVY OFFICERS CLUB HOUSE. 

This pleasant rendezvous is in the eastern part of the Exposition Grounds on Commonwealth Avenue, cast, 
facing Powhatan Street. It is exceedingly attractive and inviting in appearance, and is well suited to the fra 
ternal purposes of the officers. 


A 



SOLDIERS AND SAILORS CLUB HOUSE. 

This club house for enlisted men faces the Lee Parade from Commonwealth Avenue, West. It is a favorite 
place for meetings of the men of these two branches of service, and a great place for the exchange of stories 
of adventure. 






































MOTHERS’ AND CHILDREN’S BUILDING—POCAHONTAS HOSPITAL. 

Great Expositions like great cities must provide for the ills which are sure to overtake some unfortunates where great numbers of people 
congregate. Pocahontas Hospital is located at the east border of Lee Parade, opposite the State Exhibit Palace. The Mothers’ and Children’s 
Building, as its name implies, is a place of rest, facing Hampton Roads, on Willoughby Boulevard, near the Inside Inn. 























THE POWHATAN OAK—IN ARTS AND CRAFTS VILLAGE. 


The Powhatan Oak is the venerated tree of this section of Virginia. Science has proclaimed the fact that it was a vigorous 3 r oung tree at 
the time of the landing of the first English settlers, and time has woven many romances about this sturdy old monarch of the forest.

VIRGINIA BUILDING. 


Virginia has erected for the entertainment of her guests a typical old Virginia home of the Colonial period. It is beautifully located on 
Hampton Roads between the Pennsylvania and Maryland buildings, and true Virginia hospitality will be dispensed there during the Exposition.

AN INTERIOR VIEW IN VIRGINIA BUILDING. 

The interior of the beautiful Virginia State building is strikingly elegant and attractive, and perfectly in harmony with the intent to pro¬ 
duce a good reproduction of the best class of early Virginia homes. Not the least interesting study to exposition visitors is that of the dif¬ 
ferent styles pervading the State buildings and their furnishings. In all of these buildings are innumerable objects typical of peculiar qualities, 
clothed with traditional or historic reminiscence, or sacred because of associations. 






















PENNSYLVANIA MASSACHUSETTS 

STATE BUILDINGS. 

The Pennsylvania State Building is a faithful reproduction of Independence Hall, the Nation’s first Capitol, where the Liberty Bell hung, and 
now Philadelphia’s, and, indeed, Pennsylvania’s most revered historic building. The Massachusetts Building is a reproduction of the old State 
House in Boston. It stands at the head of State Street, the financial center of New England. The emblems of British authority, the lion and 
the unicorn decorate the front of the building, as in the days of Colonial Government. Both State buildings stand on Willoughby Boulevard, one 
on each side and equidistant from Raleigh Court.

THREE UNITED STATES BATTLE-SHIPS. 

These great battle-ships were photographed as they lay at ancho r off the Exposition. The Virginia, pictured at top of the page, is one 
of the latest additions to our navy. She is a first-class battle-ship, and was built at Newport News. The Georgia, a first-class battle¬ 
ship, is one of the fastest in the navy. She was built at Bath, Maine. T he Rhode Island is also one of the new first-class battle-ships, and was 
built at the Fore River Ship Yards, near Boston.

CAPTAIN JOHN SMITH TRADING WITH THE INDIANS. 

This realistic group is in the Smithsonian Museum,one of the Government buildings. It illustrates methods 
prevailing in dealing with the red men, as well as the dress of the settlers. Near the group are others showing 
the dress of people of that date.

THE WAR PATH. 

The designation of the amusement section at the Jamestown Expositon is the War Path. It is original in design, being laid out in a 
square, bringing the various features closely together and making them very accessible. The Philippine Villlage and The 101 Ranch are both 
outside the War Path, each being sufficient in themselves to draw the people to their own localities. Certain it is that visitors to the Exposi¬ 
tion have a great variety to choose from in bestowing their patronage on these enterprising amusement features.

CAPTAIN JOHN SMITH. From Painting 

Capt. John Smith was one of the original colonists who landed at 
Jamestown, May 13, 1607. He was brave, fearless, and a man of won¬ 
derful energy and resource. In 1608, he was selected as President of the 
Council which governed the colony, and by his wise rule and great 
courage was able to preserve and protect the colony, which otherwise 
would doubtless have perished. Having been severely injured in an ex¬ 
plosion he returned to England in October, 1609, and did not return to 
Virginia. 



in Virginia State Library POCAHONTAS. 

Pocahontas, sometimes called Matoaka, was the daughter of Pow¬ 
hatan, the most powerful of all the Indian chieftains. Through her aid 
and assistance the colony was several times saved from destruction. On 
one occasion, she threw herself between Capt. John Smith and the war 
clubs raised to beat out his brains. In 1616 she accompanied her husband, 
John Rolfe, to England, where she was received at court. She died at 
Gravesend the following year as she was about to return to Virginia.

ST. PAUL’S CHURCH, NORFOLK. 

St. Paul’s Church was erected in 1739 . It is built in the form of a cross as were nearly all of the Colonial 
churches. When Lord Dunmore, enraged because of his defeat at Great Bridge, fired on Norfolk, New Year's 
Day 1776 , a cannon ball lodged in the side of this church, where it can still be seen amid the ivy which covers 
the walls.

LAUNCHING OF THE U. S. S. BATTLE-SHIP NORTH CAROLINA. 

The launching of a new ship is always an occasion of profound interest, and in case of a government vessel of 
impressive ceremony and rejoicing. The chief interest centers in the christening, when the ship begins to move, at which 
time some gracious lady, selected for the occasion, proclaims the name of the vessel and breaks a bottle of wine or 
selected liquid. The North Carolina was built and recently launched at Newport News. 



WAR TROPHIES AT FORTRESS MONROE 

Fortress Monroe, at Old Point Comfort, just across Hampton Roads from the Exposition, is the largest and best 
equipped fort in America and one of the strongest in the world. The colonists landed here before they landed at James¬ 
town. A palisaded fort was planned for this point in 1614 and erected a few years later. Jefferson Davis was confined 
in this fort for about two years after his capture in 1865. 




















REVOLUTIONARY MONUMENTS. 


The Yorktown monument, at the left, commemorates the surrender of Cornwallis. The central monument is the famous equestrian statue 
of Washington in the Capitol Square at Richmond. The monument at the right was erected to Mary, the Mother of Washington, at Fredericks¬ 
burg, her old home.
